Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have been on full display for six years as being unwilling to do what they promised Canadians in 2015 and 2019, which was to be the most open government in history and to let the sun shine in, as it is the best disinfectant.
It is disingenuous and demonstrative of the issue when NSICOP is the committee that this issue would be sent to and the nominations from the official opposition for the changes in membership were made in October. To have the third party in the House, the Bloc Québécois, not have its member added until this morning, on the eve of this ruling from the Speaker, is disingenuous. We have seen the Liberals shut down Parliament. We have heard them threaten to go to an election during the pandemic. We have heard hours and hours of filibustering from them. They seem allergic to being transparent and accountable, and that is why we cannot count on them to do the right thing.
It looks like an order of this House may be needed and that individuals may need to be censured. If that is the will of this place, I am confident that it will bolster Canadians' sense of confidence in this institution.
